Back on topic- I like the idea of letting the season continue to play out a while before extending any of those guys. I think Flip is the easiest candidate to sign the soonest of the 3, as you kinda know he's a good complementary winger but not elite at anything, so you slot him accordingly.

I think the Wings are catching a break by having Brunner start his career in a shortened season, as they can use the "small sample size" argument to keep his $$ amount lower. I think the Nose would have more leverage after completing a normal 82 game season instead of the shortened one. I don't think he'd be breaking the bank anyway, but it probably helps Kenny to catch the Nose in a short season.

Agree. But what is slot accordingly? I feel that's a 3.9 - 4.2M cap hit for Flip. Ideally 3.75-4M.
